imperative for HIV--> AIDS

reduces CD4 and mHC receptors, alters signalling, reculated cytotoxicity, maintains viral loads
VIF
promotes assembly & maturation
binds antiviral proteins
VPU
reduces CD4 expression and enhances viral release
VPR or VPX
VPR (HIV-1) VPX (HIV-2) transports cDNA to nucleus in latent

in growing cell--> stops G2 growth phase
HIV released by
budding or syncytia
4H risk group
homosexuals, haitians, hemophiliacs, heroin drug addicts
# people now affected with HIV
40 million
2 variant forms of HIV
HIV-1 common
HIV-2 west africa, less severe
Latent period of HIV
long, prodrome like flu

indiana, girl befriended him
Genotypes of HIV-1
M,N,O
M has 11 subtypes (A-K)
clade
subtype
HIV-2 has ___ clades
6, A-F
AIDS works by (5)
reducing CD4 cells
decrease in helpter T cells, delay type hypersensitivity T-cells
no activation of CD8 cells
increase virion
STI of HIV works by
enters cell, infects mucosal surface (MALT)
macrophage tropic binds to CD4 marker
affects lineage
genetic shifts
reserviors of HIV
non reservoirs
macrophage and dendritic cells
peripheral blood and T cells
genetic shift of HIV occurs
with a change in ENV gene
Acute sx. of HIV
2-4 weeks post ex.
burst of virions--> mono/flu symptoms
not long duration
latent phase of HIV
virus decrease
replicate in lymph nodes, macrophages, resting T cells
lymphadenopathy (years)
3 months after acute may get rash with aseptic meningitis
Late phase of HIV
increase viral load
CD4 & 8 decrease
no immune responce
get secondary infections
neurological ramifications
AIDS dx by
CD4 levels < 200 cells/ microL
neurological ramifications of HIV
similar to alzheimers
microglial cells infected
macrophages in brain
brain produces neurotoxins --> death of neurons
cause confusion
opportunistic infections in CNS
Clinical sx.
asx--> AIDS
w/o treatment usually fatal
death from CNS involv, cancer (another source), 2nd infection
opportunistic infections linked to HIV (7)
ARC
Kaposi syndrome
pneumocystic pneumonia
mycobacterium avium intracellular complex
CMV
oral candidiasis (thrush)
crytococcal meningitis
ARC
aids related complex
Lab diagnosis important for
patient- ID infection, and treatment
ID carriers in latency (transmission
follow disease
follow treatment
Lab dx.
serological tests
RT PCR
genomic studies
Tcell subsets (CD4:cd8 ratio(
treatment
HAART
HAART
highly active anti-retroviral therapy
control of HIV
education
safe sex
transmission
free testing/needles
infection control
testing donors
HTLV
many animals affected--> different leukemias and lymphomas
non-human HTLV
DIRECT- fast growing
has Vonc (oncogenic gene)
virus has growth enhancing proteins
human HTLV
indirect
slow progression, enhanced by tax protein
latency period of HTLV in humans
30 years
HTLV associated with leukemias
HTLV-1 --> ATLL
HTLV-2 (found in some Hairy cell)
HTLV-5 (found in some cutaneous lymphomas)
Transmission of HTLV
similar to HIV
HTLV infection
blood infects CD4 cells --> Delayed type hypersensitivity Tcells--> cutaneous infection and neurons
HTLV can cause ___ but not as bad as HIV
immunosuppression
HTLV mainly found in
S. Japan, Caribbean, C. africa, African americans in S. E. US

S. Japan, Caribbean, C. africa, African americans in S. E. US
clinical sx. of HTLV
1:20 --> ATLL
once diagnosed 1 year to live
ATLL is
neoplasm of CD4 cells, chronic or acute
morphology of ATLL
"flower cells" lymphocytes have lobulated nucleus

increase WBC
skin lesions (sezary-like)
DX of HTLV
RT PCR and ELISA
treatment of HTLV
AZT with interferon alpha
